Knut!

This page is yet another for the Purple Pumpkin sketch challenge. And thank goodness for sketch challenges because without them, I'm sure I wouldn't get as many pages done as I do. I'm following two challenges religiously, which ensures at least three pages per month.

This page tells the story of my youngest rascal and his white PJs that have earned him the nickname "Knut"--like the German polar bear.

He has since grown out of these snuggly jammies with feet, but he's still just as cute these days. (And still eating bananas for bedtime snack whenever he can.)

I had a little trouble with the colour scheme for this layout. At first, I thought I wanted all black and white--it did the photo justice--but found it a little more "formal" than this layout should be. So, I switched out the background card stock for Bo Bunny's fabulous Dot to Dot paper in turquoise and I think it lends the little bit of whimsy I was after.

I also love the title stickers: American Crafts Thickers, but in felt. These fuzzy letters give the title the same warmth and softness conveyed in the journaling.

Another lovely 2011 page in the book! God bless sketches!!
